Never tried any myself.

You should be able to find some by searching the application database at freshmeat.net as it's just about the best place for finding applications.

xawtv is my favorite TV application, i have tryed KwinTV and it locks up & crashes a bunch, GnomeTV wont even launch for me, and Zapper is crapware too...

i have had good sucess with xawtv, but there is a file named .xawtv that needs to be in your home directory, it has all the local configuration for your local cable TV system. mine looks like this, here is a copy & paste of it so it will probably lose some of the formating. i only included the first 5 channels on my TV because there are over 60 channels and it would make a very long list, the numbers for the contrast\bright\color can be adjusted by rightclicking in the xawtv window and a options dialog will open letting you adjust some settings...
